The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I'll try to arrange a meeting for you. Picard is usually very busy, but hopefully I can get him to spare some time to talk with you" Stripetail replied.  "As for Snowpaw she is my wife, Our marriage was an immortal one, we intended Snowpaw to gain immortality. Unfortunately that didn't happen and she was killed. However, her death did not release me from the marriage." he continued quietly.

no,, we're not married. Eva is a student at Sowarkard Abbey who is entering her third year, she still has seven years left. We simply had children, who are illegitimate according to the laws of my homeland, since we were not married at the time of their birth and since eva is not "of age". She has to be at least sixteen to have children legally..."

Bahumut chuckled a bit "From what I seen she way older then that in years that went by. I seen she was once called a being with life in a machine, she lived that life from what I seen for 49 years and 3 as a being that you help to bring to a world of living outside a machine flesh and blood, making her in all the eyes 53 years of age, she might look young but she older then she looks. making her children brith legal since she not underage, did you miss that part out or did it take a being such as myself to see it through my own eyes of images of time flowing by for you and Eva." Bahumut said to him and seem like no one else heard him but he was speaking.

"I can flow my voice to a person without others hearing if your wonder. so what I said is heard only by your eyes Stripetail. My child Lurna was born in human form by the very magic they believed in, the women that helped was only the age of 89. she was too old to give a child to a human standard but she did cause of the will of belief in me the tribe of Bahumut believed in me. I have a child cause of it and in some standards it illege but she still my child the Princess of Dragons Lurna. A special loving child that I have a chance to raise. Family whatever the means is important. Eva and Snowpaw you both love, Eva still young even for her age of a immortal. but she has a very strong future, don't let that dampen your spirts Lord Stripetail." Bahumut said to Stripetail with a grin on his face looking at Lurna then back at Stripetail.

"Understand this Stripetail. Things work out of a reason you cannot tell but in events to come you will trurly discover it, being alive for so long will lead to a set of suprises in life you will never espect to happen but don't always follow what to come from beings that see a possible future, they see it and say it will change the events and lead a new road that this would  never happen" Bahumut told him and walk over to Lurna and  Incanur leaving Stripetail thinking about what Bahumut said to him.

Her time as an AI doesn't count, the law only considers time as a squirell. Trust me, I've checked" Stripetail replied .  he pursed his lips as he thought about what Bahumut had said. "We are trying to keep the children's existenvce secret until she leacves school. My people are very conservative, and if the details of my children's existence were to come out, I would be prosecuted."

Bahumut turns around "you missed one thing of your law. look at the back page" Bahumut made the law book appear out of thin air "it a copy of all your laws, look right at the back you will see there is a back door that will make it very much............ legal for you and Eva" Bahumut throw him the book and he caught it then look at the back page as he was told and saw nothing there "now watch" Bahumut let out a small flare and hits that page and then the law appeared "only by heat the law will appear, it was hidden by some magic... I say the one you trust the headmaster, he knows of your kids that Eva gave brith to, he hid the law from you to lets say get one over you" Bahumut told him and Bahumut looked at the law and as Bahumut said it was a directly legal law that seem to counter maned the others that made Eva's child illegal and one reason was she being now a wizzin of the council her children are legal the age of a wizzin would not be counted to a child brith seen as a holy sign of joy for all.

"Your counter part was fouled by this as well, my friend found out with my help, but not the head master but by Snowbeam she was always trying to get one over the Lord and since his wife was techinal under age when she gave brith even she was a wizzin when Evaila was born, but this same law was hidden by Snowbeam and for 200 years she got the better of him making him do what she wanted since she'd would spill the beans but when I show him the law that was hidden in just a space of a 20000 years before the time of ice and her death by me, he was getting even with her but she try to cheat and that was end of the story." Bahumut spoke of past events.

"Tell me one thing the headmaster of the school Eva goes to have got you to do that you didn't want to do? I know he has and you know it as well. Now think about it and that Law add them together and then you get... your answer" Bahumut said to Stripetail who was staring at the code of law the one he clearly missed and only the flames showing it.

he doesn't know of their birth Bahumut, that's the problem. And he has never blackmailed me into doing anything that I didn't want" Stripetail replied.  "if anyone did this I'd say it was the judge I went to to update my marriage to Snowpaw. But i high;ly doubt he would blackmail me, what is said in a judge's chambers is confidential"

Bahumut nods but then look at Stripetail in the eyes "Then I will show what I seen to you" Stripetail looked and in a second his eyes close and open to seeing the Judge and a dark finger talking

"Thank you for the information Judge, your doing the right thing, I will speak to Lord Stripetail about Eva's kids in due time and I will place this information in copies all over the major cities and planets so if he try and blank me out of remembering the whole tri-foundation will know about the children in under a few blinks of a second" the dark finger chuckled taking the documents off the judge and handing him a case to the judge then using some energy the document glows and energy balls go in all directions across the tri-foundation. "Now that is done"

Then the view went back to normal "that happened a week after you spoke to the judge. that was more then 4 months ago I believe" Bahumut spoke to Stripetail "highly dought is still a possible chance and it happened, this finger I do not know who he is but he knows you Stripetail and he got the documents" Bahumut stats

Everyone looked at him "Dad?"

"I shown him a past event that happened a few months ago, a truth of events." Bahumut said to Lurna

"oh your ability to see past events, you've showed me what was important to my mother about this place. But it sounds like there something that he didn't know something bad" Lurna said to her dad Bahumut.

"Yes... someone that got hold of something very important. now Lord Stripetail in risk and that dark finger... whoever he is got the information and I got a feeling he will appear and show himself in 1 year just before the tourument." Bahumut said to her

"Make him lose it?" Lurna wondered.

What secret?' the judge asked defensively. "You know darn well what secret!' stripetail snarled. "oh, so you found out my transaction..." A smile appeared o the judge's face. 'My 'friend' who I gave your papers too, wishes to close the book on magic. You are the last of the great wizards, with you in prison, magic will quickly fade..." the twisted smile grew broader.
